PT Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM) is in danger of not being able to settle its debts and its payments due next year because it can no longer produce. PT Pupuk Sriwijaya was asked to help the company. The amount due adds up to US$240 million. As a result of lack of gas supply, PT Pupuk Iskandar stopped producing last September which caused them a loss of US$840,000 per day.

Fertilizer Production in Danger of Rapid DescentKoran Tempo, page A18, 2005-09-27
The production of national fertilizer is in danger of declining to 4.5 million tons from 6 million tons in the next two to three years due to uncertain gas supply, which caused three fertilizer companies in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam to stop their production. The three factories are ASEAN Aceh Fertilizer (AAF), Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM) I and PIM II. AAF, with a 630,000 tons urea production capacity, will be liquidated later this year. PIM I (production capacity 600,000 tons) stopped operating early this year, while PIM II (production capacity 570,000 tons) stopped operating since B September 2005.
